Anniversary Concert

45 Years of Craftsmanship

What an unforgettable evening we celebrated together! On Wednesday, 12 November, the atmospheric Oude Kerk in Ermelo was entirely dedicated to our 45th anniversary. A fully packed church enjoyed a unique concert. The evening was presented by co-owner Gerwin Boswijk, who warmly welcomed the audience and guided them through the programme. A special moment was the retrospective by our ‘Founding Father’ Bert Foppen. He shared how Content Orgels once began, the dreams and challenges that shaped the early years, and how grateful he is that the company, 45 years later, still works with the same passion and dedication to quality and innovation.

The musical programme was rich, diverse and impressive. On the completely new organ, equipped with the new Crown Technology and presented especially for this occasion, one musical gem followed another: from German Baroque to Dutch choral art, from French Romanticism to symphonic organ music. The contributions by Take Five, Gert van Hoef, Gerwin van der Plaats, Hans-Dieter Karras and Sofia Korsakova complemented each other beautifully. Their dedication and musicianship made the evening truly exceptional, for which we are deeply grateful.

Alongside the music, the warm and friendly atmosphere allowed visitors to meet, share memories and enjoy this special anniversary together. The gathering of customers, relations, family and friends felt like a worthy celebration of everything that has been built over the past 45 years. We look back on this evening with great gratitude. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to this wonderful milestone. Here’s to the future, full of craftsmanship, inspiration and (organ) music.
